In China, autism has a problem of "low recognition" and "low social acceptance". Autistic families shoulder the double burden of economy and spirit. In order to expand the public's awareness of the autism group, gather the love of all sectors of society, promote and advocate caring for the autism group and their families, transmit positive energy and scientific ideas, and create an integrated social environment, Sponsored by the Beijing Membership Management Committee of the China Lion Federation, the China Association of the Mentally Handicapped and Their Relatives and Friends (China Fine Arts Association), Bethune Foundation, the Health Communication Center of the People's Health Publishing House, the Kangnazhou Autism Family Support Center, Yuandian Art Museum, and the Chinese Artists Magazine jointly launched the large-scale public welfare activity "Painting on Autism", Pass on the cognition and understanding of the autistic group through painting, and spread the popular science knowledge of autism to the society in a vivid way to show the unique views of the autistic group, so that the public can feel the unique vitality and appeal of the autistic group.

Sister Wang Zhanying, the initiator of this activity and the founding team leader of the Beijing Jinghua Team of the China Lions Federation, said that we hope to send out the voice of "love and care" through the activity of "Painting about Autism", so that the majority of primary and secondary school students and the public can participate in this activity to understand, accept and care for the autism group. This activity will collect paintings on their understanding of autism from the public, especially primary and middle school students and volunteers with painting skills. Participants will draw their own understanding of autism in the form of cartoons based on their understanding of a paragraph in the Handbook of Science Popularization for Autistic Children's Rehabilitation, accompanied by vivid text descriptions, Make it easier for the general public to accept and understand. We have joined forces with the China Fine Arts Association, influential love and rehabilitation institutions, 13 service teams of the Beijing Lions Federation, and professional volunteer groups to participate.

While our lion friends practice our services, they try their best to promote social forces to understand and accommodate this special group. This year, our project theme is [Yuena], hoping to drive more people to help autistic children integrate into society as soon as possible, because they are the same as us, Have the right to enjoy life.

As one of the five main associations of the China Disabled Persons' Federation, China Fine Arts Association performs the responsibility of "representing, safeguarding rights and serving". China Fine Arts Association will do a good job in coordination and joint work, and at the same time give full play to the advantages of the Connaught Island Autism Family Support Center to help do a good job in the publicity and promotion of the public welfare activities of Painting on Autism. In terms of creating a broad social impact of "ten million" (that is, ten regions are linked, hundreds of institutions are involved, more than 1000 people interact, and millions of people are affected), we should give play to creativity and initiative, and strengthen the implementation.
